About the Author

Christopher Rice is a 38-year-old best-selling author. In fact, this American author has written six novels, and each one of these works became a best-seller in its own right. Mr. Rice has writing in his vains as he belongs to a family where many members are authors too. Clive Barker is also his friend. Mr.Rice isn’t like his mother who loves writing horror novels, but Christopher considers his works as just thrillers. He also misses his late sister Michele, who died six year before Christopher was born.

Christopher also lived in Louisiana graduating in 1996 from a truly prestigious high school in that very state of this beautiful nation. Though Christopher attended two colleges, he didn’t graduate from either of them and he just went to Los Angeles to try out what he could do in the field of screenplay writing. As he is gay, his works focus on the life of gay males in contemporary America. He doesn’t mind being pegged as a gay writer in any way, as this amazing writer enjoys an open mind at all times.

Brutal Violence

In his book The Vines, the author created an atmosphere of vivid and brutal violence that is hard to miss. With tons of well-chosen words and outstanding characters, The Vines is a novel that tons people should read these days. This could be the first book written by Christopher Rice, but this will not be the last work you’ll read from this author in any way. His mother wrote incredible novels in the horrors gender, and Mr. Rice seems to be just dipping his shoes into this supernatural landscape. If you love thrillers with a glass of violence, you’ll love this author’s works.

Christopher Rice loves writing about mysteries and things like that, a treat that he owes to his mother in some ways. In fact, some people say that The Vines is the best book that Mr. Rice has written in his entire career. This plot has some twists that will make you cry, and that’s not an exaggeration at all. In fact, this plot is thrilling and inviting from the beginning to the end, and that’s awesome too. You’ll adore the transitions from French colonial and modern-day slavery, and this will make you think about the realities of life as soon as you read this book.

Complicated Relationship

In Dance of Desire, Mr. Rice exposes his creative genius. This complicated yet interesting plot revolves around a relationship of two teenagers. The dad of one of these teenagers has made things a little harsh for the young couple, as they are now siblings but not by blood in any way. Caleb has just returned home in a surprise feat and Amber doesn’t know what to do with her feelings for him. In addition, Amber’s husband has just being plowing the help. Though Caleb adores Amber, he didn’t want to do anything about it because he feels guilty about something he did to her father in the past. Now the couple is in their mid 20s so they have a second chance.

The couple doesn’t seem to realize that they are in a crossroads these days. They yearn for each other but aren’t sure about giving in so they can leave the past behind once and for all. You’ll enjoy gossip-loving characters as they talk about crazy things at all times. The plot is about a second-chance love and you’ll enjoy evey minute of it. In fact, Mr. Rice can be considered the new voice in the important contemporary romance these days. This storyline is about a tragedy of love that is hurting two lovely and innocent teenagers. They just want to love each other but tragedy’s claws want them to be unhappy at all times, which is a shame.

Sensuous Setting

Rice loves writing about sensuous settings, gays, family history and sensitive teenagers. If you mix those things with wit, you’ll be able to create an outstanding plot right away, which is something Mr.Rice did in A Density of Souls. But you’ll not find a word about vampires or something like that in Anne Rice’s son’s works in any way. The family resemblance will only be found in the overripe magnolias, gays and the settings. The story is full of murder, madness, and suicide celebrating the youthful friendly of four people. Before this foursome enters a prestigious prep school, the friendship is over by a sexual issue.

In this awesome novel, Mr. Rice is truly depicting his own story rather than someone else’s. In addition, you’ll see all the passions that consume a juvenile mind such as envy, rage, and others as well as the normal life of high school students from football games to late-night escapades. You’ll not find any kind of character illumination here in any way, so some spiritual moments are missing in this novel. The characters of the novel are experiencing an identity crisis as this situation is normal in people who are coming of age, and all this suffering is also quite normal.

As you can see, Mr. Rice has written some amazing stuff these days. You’ll want to read each novel this author has written if you read at least one of his novels.

Jack Reacher is back! Personally I thought this was the 2nd best Reacher book yet. The latest book in the Jack Reacher series, Past Tense, came out November 5th. Family secrets come back to haunt Reacher when he decides to visit the town his father was born in. Why? Because when he visits there he finds out no-one with the last name of Reacher has ever lived there. It leaves him wondering - did his father ever live there? More Details.
